The problem is that iMovie doesn’t let you set a project’s resolution manually-for that you seemingly need the $300 Final Cut Pro X-and on the Mac, it fixes the project’s resolution based on the first clip you insert.
It’s also just the principle of the thing: I put in high-resolution 4096-by-2304 video, which is what QuickTime Player captured from my 27-inch iMac with 5K Retina display, and I expect to be able to export a 4K version of the file in the end. That’s not optimal for how-to videos with a lot of text, which are best viewed when zoomed to full-screen anyway. And both come with all Macs for free, so that’s where we’re starting.īut I recently stumbled across an infuriating problem: no matter what I did with my original screen recordings, I couldn’t use File > Share > File in iMovie to save a video file at a resolution higher than 720p. As far as tools go, ScreenFlow is the gold standard, but QuickTime Player can record screen actions and iMovie is a decent video editor. We’ve been trying to incorporate screencasts into more of our articles here at TidBITS-there are times when a short video conveys some point better than any number of screenshots. #1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.
